Good aroma, fruit background and a little tannin on the finish to give it a bit of bite. Much better than the bottle I last opened in December; it seems I've also learnt something about what can happen to a single bottle. Probably not much life left; I won't allow the remaining bottles to survive the year.

Not sure what to make of this one. I last opened one in 2011 and found it tannic and closed so I duely packed the remainder away. Eighteen months later, initial impressions were good. The aroma was fresh and fruity, but the finish was very acidic - most reminicent of a poor NZ Sauvignon. It didn't taste flawed in the normal sense, but perhaps there was something wrong. I've got another four, so I'll find out soon enough!

Light and fruity with some sour cherries and bitterness at the tail end. A little lacking in structure and overall togetherness, but a decent Wednesday night quaffer.

Not very complex. No real structure, A little jammy, with a slight tannin finish.
